Five Years Lyrics

I've been waiting for this time to write the story about how you found the strength to let go

Like you're mother you were strong

You wanted nothing more than your family

Now I'm the age you were when you left

We were sitting in the kitchen

My sisters and my dad

Hearing them say there's nothing more we can do

This is the final stage there's nothing more than days left

Five years of fighting and it ends today

Five years of hoping there's a way to make you stay

Five years of praying for the pain to go away ends today

Five years of waiting for a miracle

Five years in blindness for the visible

Five years denying you're fading into gray ends today

So hard to find the words when you're just turned eighteen and you know what this means

I wonder how you felt knowing you soon will leave your family

Now I'm the age you were when you left

I was sitting by your bed and holding your hand

Thinking to myself this can be the last time

I'm hearing your voice saying I love you

Five years of fighting and it ends today

Five years of hoping there's a way to make you stay

Five years of praying for the pain to go away ends today

Five years of waiting for a miracle

Five years in blindness for the visible

Five years denying you're fading into gray ends today

It must have been so hard to face the truth, you're not getting better

I kiss my kids goodnight and feel the love you must have felt for me and my sisters

Oh so hard

But you kept your faith that you'll meet with your maker

It must have made you strong to know that we'll meet again

Five years

Five years

Five years

Five years

Five years fighting

Five years hoping

Five years praying

Five years waiting

Fighting

Hoping

Praying

Waiting
